Factor the trinomial (x^2 - 5x + 6).

Question

Accepted Answer

Step:1 ：Step 1: Identify a, b, and c from the standard form of quadratic equation (ax^2 + bx + c). Here, a=1, b=-5, and c=6.Step:2 ：Step 2: Find two numbers that add up to -5 (the coefficient of x) and multiply to 6 (the constant term). The numbers are -2 and -3.Step:3 ：Step 3: Write the trinomial as a product of two binomials using the two numbers found in the previous step. So, (x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3)).
